About the game
Small paws, daring the unknown deep.
Nekolhu's Labyrinth is a dungeon RPG where you trace and link the tiles on a 6×6 board.
Collect coins, heal with potions, guard with shields and defeat enemies with swords. All you do is trace a line, but the enemies get stronger with every turn. Which tiles to link, and in what order: that one move decides how far your adventure goes.
How far can you get before you fall? Take on your personal best with 10 classes and 4 kinds of adventure.
